Teerenpeli Pyy Gin (50cl, 45%)

A Finnish gin from Teerenpeli Distillery in Lahti, bottled at 45% ABV in a 0.5 litre bottle. It combines classic gin botanicals with birch leaves, lingonberries and Amarillo hops, with the hop coming from the house brewery's stock. The recipe uses ten botanicals: juniper berries, lingonberries, birch leaves, Amarillo hops, lemon peel, coriander seeds, angelica, cumin, liquorice root and cinnamon. The gin is distilled in Teerenpeli's original copper stills. It is soft, clear and full-bodied, with citrus, herbs, juniper and floral notes. Fresh citrus meets gentle juniper on the nose, with a scent reminiscent of a birch forest after rain. The palate is soft and full-bodied, with juniper, citrus, herbs and gentle spice. Citrus notes remain on the finish.
